Anthopoulos spent the previous two seasons with the Dodgers as senior vice president of baseball operations. It was a position specially created for the addition of the former Toronto Blue Jays general manager.

While there is now a void in the Dodgers front office, Zaidi intimated the club may not find a direct replacement for Anthopoulos, according to Andy McCullough of the L.A. Times:

Zaidi indicated the team may not pursue a direct replacement for Anthopoulos. “It’s a chance for us to reset and maybe reorient a couple of those leadership positions,” Zaidi said.

Before a possible replacement is found for Anthopoulos, or his duties are redistributed, the Dodgers presumably will first look to finalize contracts for their coaching staff, and hire a new Minor League director.
